SSAFA Trek 2008 · 31 October 2008 ·

SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity is a trusted source of support for serving personnel, veterans and their families in their time of need. Our trained volunteers and employees provide practical, emotional and financial assistance to the Armed Forces community to ensure they never battle alone.

Story

Sadly the Trek to Mount Kenya was cancelled due to advice from the Foreign Office following the recent civil unrest in Kenya - so now we have a new challenge - Trekking to Machu Picchu

We have set a new target  as we are now doing a double act

M&M -  Melanie and Mum ( Mary)

Thank you for visiting our fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor us online.   
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: SSAFA Forces Help will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 25% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor us now! If you cant give money - that's OK - We'll be raising funds through ebay and Car boot sales so please turn out your attics and garage - We'll collect as we go by  and turn your unwanted items into cash - just send an email to mary.s@ssafa.org.uk to let us know

 Why SSAFA? well, as a member of staff I realise just how much this charity does to support the serving and ex-service community - as an adoption agency ; organising holidays for disabled children and also for their siblings; running the confidential support line for those in need of a friendly voice and advice; a family escort service; housing and of course the amazing branch network with volunteers - 'the ready help of friends to friends' helping with state benefits, financial grants, mobility aids  and much much more.  visit www.ssafa.org.uk to read more...

Many thanks for your support.
